My New Found Love

This is one of those 'make up some numbers' post.
I am serious about this topic too, only that I dint think too much on this thought.
Its just one fleeting thought, for one fleeting read.

If you already read my first blog....( If you havent, I recommend reading it first, because I do not like questions in between the lecture.My strategy is, to make sure each blog has some reference from the old, so you WILL have to go back to the old blogs.)

When I used to prepare for my exams during my engineering, this is how a typical session would look like.....


The reading will start at chapter 11, lesson one and para 5 that is 11.1.5.....then it will discuss some topic and ask us to refer 9.3.5 .....Then I used to go back to 9.3.5.......half way thru the paragraph....it wd say....Refer to 5.3.13......and there I go...........its like playing snakes and ladders....I never ended up reading any chapter completelyy......

Moral: You have to read my other blogs too, how ever painful they are....)

soo....like u already know from my first blog, I am in this God Forbidden place and am tryin to find ways of spending surplus time.....if any ,during the weekends.good news is, my client is making us work during the weekends too, till late night, so I am happy I have less time to spend.

Even when I am at home, I am not a very Avid TV guy..I watch, no no, I see TV sometimes, but all the times, I end up browsing each of the channel for a micro second ( or how much ever time it takes for the eye to capture the image and the time my grey cells take to process the image) and move on to the next.After Iam done with the available channels, the process starts all over again.My dad thinks its some kind os psychosomatic disorder, but I think its basically wrong with the programs on TV.if they cannot hold the attention of a normal TV viewer, what kinda stuf are they making.


Even in those weak moments where you are too lazy to press the buttons on the remote to change the channel...........when you graciously sympathise and acknowledge the psychological pressure the rest of the family goes through, due to the 'frequent' change in the channels..........and decide to stick to one channel...........there u get


those annoying useless Ads...........

Also, I am not those 'English Serial' guys either.I never even knew there were some English 'Seasons' like Friends et al.and even if I did bump on some during those browsing sessions, I used to hate them for the un natural and unwanted laughs in the background.


some how I feel those background laughs are an insult to the Human intellect.Do they think the only animal which laughs, does not know how and when to laugh......... c mon, I am too intelligent for those 'induced' laughs.


Besides, I never understood what they spoke........so the remote chance of really laughing at a genuine joke is gone..

I did majority of my schooling in Government schools, we never spoke English .........and Its like we are from Telugu Medium School.


It used to be very difficult for me to make a single sentence in english, forget about speaking one.I had this huge complex and I never spoke in english until my class 10.and somewhere down the lane.............I could speak....HAHAHA whatta irony.

( How I improved my English and I finally got over the complex is one post.. and my dad's english proficiency and his SUnday afternoon 'Wren and Martin' English classes is another Post....Tada taadaan......)


So...where am I.........


I was giving a 'Brief' background of my TV skills, My hatred for the English serials.On the contrary, my partner in crime is brought up on huge doses of Mills and Boons and Friends.


(My hatred for reading is another blog....OMG....I am getting addicted)


She always insted that I should try to watch them atleast once.but my hatred was over powering, so I nver saw any of the 'Seasons'.She has the CD's from the Season one....

coming to THE TOPIC of the post.......MY NEW FOUND LOVE.......


so here I am, with my previous prejudices, the present predicaments and some spare time......
During the TV Viewing sesion, I happened to settle on one serial with all good looking women.

and I could understand the language....tada tadan.........its English....I have to tell you , I have a very high IQ levels.I also get some mexican channels here, so beautiful women alwyas does not mean u will understand what they talk.It can be mexican too....like who is interested in their talk....I know.....


SO i was watching this programme and I slowly was getting in to the groove.I vaguely remember seeing the gurl who was in majority of the scenes, or atleast her voice is at the background.it was Sarah Jessica Parker ( and they say Gollapalli Venkata Phanindra is long ). What ever she said made so much logic and sense.so I got more interested. and ofcourse there was a lotta skin show, so it was purrfect for a dinner watch.

and suddenly the Advs. and when it was back, It showed the name of the serial



Tada tadannnnnnnnnn..........Flassssshhhhhhhhh

Sex and the City.............I was watching one of those glorified and oft discussed....' did u see the latest season' ( I am obsessed with this word season, donno why) serials. I always had this complex when this 'City bred' folks talked about 'Friends' 'Mills and Boons' 'Dan Brown' 'Perry Mason' stuff. and here I was, doing something they talked about.
I suddenly felt proud that I could not only understand English, but am viewing the glorified serial. It was almost a filmy achievement.

And YOU KNOW WHAT!!....I Genuinely liked it.
Come to think of it, how many serials can keep the attention of a viewer like me, by talking about the same thing over and over.
OK , I dont know abou the the city part of it, but the serial is all about sex.
I mean, how many times , how many episodes can you pull off, talking about sex EVERYTIME.
Yes I agree it is very magnetic topic, but if a have to tell a story on a daily basis, talking about the mundane life.....its gotta be difficult.
Its not done alll day!!

I gotten in love with the serial because of the very fact that they talk about sex everytime, but never end up making it vulger or boring
Sarah Jessica parker( Donno what they call her at home) does narrate it well, but the thought proces, her train of thoughts.....or so very mundane, relevant( for an average American Woman) and entertaining.

Man!!.....forget about who's the target audience.....The Script writer must be God.....I just admire him.( I still dont know who it is).Because a novel converted to a daily soap is no mean task. and a novel converted to daily serial, which entertains............is OK. and a novel converted in to daily serial which entertains BIG time and becomes a rage.........is commendable and outrageously wonderful
and it entertains big time,catches your attention and makes sense without saturating with Sex or sounding obscene...........

Now thats what I call 'entertainement' , and hence my new found love......


HURRAY!!..........I learnt to end a post properly and without abrupt thoughts.
Congratulations to me.........clap clap clap
